First Macca, now Ringo. Ringo Starr has signed a deal with Capitol/EMI to release his arguably classic 70s albums online as well as a new compilation Photograph: The Very Best of Ringo Starr on August 28. No word yet on whether any online outlet gets exclusivity. Keep in mind you can already find plenty of Mr. Starkey's material on iTunes.

Also as part of the announcement, a new album called Liverpool 8 will be released in January. Makes me want to dig out Time Takes Time on which he collaborated with Roger Manning and Andy Sturmer of Jellyfish.
